Staten Island man charged with burglary

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - A fingerprint ties a Great Kills man to a nearly four-year-old smash-and grab in Greenridge, according to police.

George J. Quevedo, 28, of the 100 block of Katan Loop, was arrested Thursday and charged in the Feb. 20, 2009, burglary of the Clubhouse Lounge on Feb. 20, 2009.

According to court papers, Quevedo told police: "I was at the bar next door from the massage spa and broke the door and vandalized the store four years ago."

Those papers said he broke the front glass door of the business at 7:35 p.m., went inside and then smashed open the cash register.

Police discovered a latent fingerprint of Quevedo's that they said connected him to the crime scene.

He's charged with one count of third-degree burglary, one count of fourth-degree criminal mischief, one count of petit larceny and one count of criminal possession of stolen property in the fifth degree.
